Out of curiosity... If the new revisions of one
of these badly edited
pages are deleted, leaving the top revision as the one just before the
bad iw bot edit, does a rerun of the bot on the page fail?
I did a test, and the result was very interesting, which might point to the
cause of this bug:
I deleted the page [[nl:Blankenbach]], then restored the 2 versions before
the problematic bot edit. When now I look at the page, instead of the page
content I get:
In de database is geen inhoud aangetroffen voor de pagina met .
Dit kan voorkomen als u een verouderde verwijzing naar het verschil tussen
twee versies van een pagina volgt of een versie opvraagt die is verwijderd.
Als dit niet het geval is, hebt u wellicht een fout in de software
gevonden. Maak hiervan melding bij een
systeembeheerder<http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:Gebruikerslijst/s…
Wikipedia en vermeld daarbij de URL van deze pagina.
Going to the specific version that after the deletion-and-partial-restore
should be the newest (
http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blankenbach&oldid=10676248)248), it
claims that there is a newer version, but going to the newer version or the
newest version, I get the abovementioned message again.
As an extra test, I did the
delete-then-restore-some-versions-but-not-the-most-recent action with
another page (
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Andre_Engels/Test),
and there I found no such problem. From this I conclude that the bug has not
been caused by that process, but that for some reason the page had a wrong
(or empty) version number for its 'most recent' version, or something like
that.C
Curiouser and curiouser... I now see that when I click the edit button from
the abovementioned page, I do get to edit the page at is it shown, even
though that one is not in the history (the page is a copy of [[
with the empty string filled in for $2).
